White Tongue with Bumps Associated With Cold Symptoms

[sapph42]

My daughter has been sick for a few days - cough, runny nose, congestion, and chapped lips although no fever to speak of.

Today, when giving her some Chloraseptic, I noticed her tongue.  There was an hourglass shapped area that was whitish, and all along the border between the white a pink areas were dozens if raised bumps.  I have a pretty high res photo, if this will let me post it.

The cold symptoms didn't worry me - its her first year in school, and she is sick often.  But the tongue is disturbing.  Any idea what it could be?

there is an undiagnosed symptoms expert forum and a family medicine forum try them I am sorry I cannot be of more help,

Those three forums are Pediatric Endocrinology, Pediatric Heart, and Pediatric Transplant.  None of those really apply here.

I apologise for no response, if you go back to the forims page you will see on the right the expert/doctor forums there are 3 pedatric forums , ask your question there .good luck
